Bush Opposes Making English the Official Language
Posted By admin
President George W. Bush has long opposed making English the country's national language, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said on Friday, a day after the Senate voted to do so, but the White House said later Gonzales had got caught in a 'linguistic snare.' . . . Later on Friday, the White House weighed in to clarify Gonzales' remarks, saying the president does not believe in English as an 'official' language. (Washington Post [1], Saturday)
